HC Deb 30 May 1921 vol 142 c614W
Mr. ALLEN PARKINSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Profiteering Sub-Committee on the Cost of Building Materials as to the existence of rings and combines among manufacturers and builders' merchants; and what steps he proposes to take to prevent the consequent inflation in the price of building materials?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 26th may to the hon. Member for Plaistow (Mr. W. Thorne), a copy of which I am sending him.
